High Earth Orbit

Famous quotes containing the words high, earth and/or orbit:

“But man, proud man,
Dressed in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what he’s most assured,
His glassy essence, like an angry ape
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As makes the angels weep.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“We will not be put off the final goal
We have it hidden in us to attain,
Not though we have to seize the earth by the pole
And, tired of aimless circling in one place,
Steer straight off after something into space.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“The human spirit is itself the most wonderful fairy tale that can possibly be. What a magnificent world lies enclosed within our bosoms! No solar orbit hems it in, the inexhaustible wealth of the total visible creation is outweighed by its riches!”
—E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
